ACA/DIY stereo pics
Hi All,
Here is a picture of my completed stereo system. It includes a pair of ACA's on sleds that I built from poplar. The speaker cabs are home built. The drivers are Fostex. There is also a Bottlehead Quickie. My wife insists that it is an eyesore, but she likes it right where it is.

Do you sell PCBs with stuffing parts?
Matt
Do you mean the kit without the chassis? If so, we can sell you that certainly. We took it off as an option to make ordering as simple as possible, because nobody was ordering "just the parts (and PCB"). Contact store support and they will sort you out.
Hi Jason,
I received my kit and have finally stuffed the boards. I was wondering if you could tell me what taps would be compatible with the included spacers as I need to drill the heatsinks please?
Everything we do for heatsinks is M3. So an M3 tap.
A teacher once told me that there are non dumb questions. Of course I never asked her the one above. Since there is no source switching or volume controls, a CD Player Line Out is out. Doing some research I found that "A preamp output normally needs to drive a load of between 10,000 Ohms and 47,000 Ohms..." with headphone outputs driving as low as 30 ohms. Looking at the circuit I see at least a 10K ohm load so I think it's safe to assume that to drive this amp I need to use a preamp.
It's called learning. You've made an effort, so that's great.
Modern sources should drive this amp just fine without need for the gain found in most preamps. You just need to add a volume control (As simple as a potentiometer) and a source selector if desired. A B1 is a nice follow on project. It will buffer the source from your volume control (or volume control from amp)
If your CD player has adjustable line out levels you can use it directly.
